White Balance +10: This is purley personal preference as I tend to like warmer tones. In hindsight this adjustment may have totally ruined the true atmosphere of the shot. You are the one who was there and it's your shot so that decision Must be Yours.
Recovery: 7: just a few blown highlights
Fill Light: 17: to get more light on the face of the doe, but again is this really what you saw?
Tone Curve
Lights: +3
Darks: -21
Shadows: +20

I used the adjustment brush around the white hairs on the eyes and ears with +20 brightness to make the face stand out more.

I would also crop as mentioned above by Dave and Geoff

It would be very helpful to know what Post Processing software you are using and also to know if you shoot Raw or Jpg. If you are using Elements, I can point you to some very helpful threads here at CiC on resizing and sharpening that will also help you a lot. I had a terrible time doing any Post Processing at all until I was helped here with a process for resizing and sharpening.

Hope to see more shots soon, don't be shy, you will find everyone here very helpful, but they can't help unless you post and ask specific questions.

Re: My first contribution

Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for the feedback. I do like the edits you put on it. It is much clearer. I didn't think I had any blown highlights, but do see some now. Currently I am using Photomatix Pro 4.2 and Photoshop Elements 10. I did not have the software at the time I was working with this one though. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
